Online Quiz League UK - Trophy - Season 18
Sarah Trevarthen Trophy
The brand new Sarah Trevarthen Trophy will commence at the end of season 18. As it is a handicap competition all players must have played a minimum of 3 league matches in OQL season 18 to be eligible for this competition. Please take this into consideration when organising your team for the remaining weeks of the season.
This is how the Sarah Trevarthen Trophy (STT) operates. The STT will work differently to the Jon Jacob Cup. It is still a handicap competition, with handicaps based on Season 18 league performances, but it is not a knockout competition.
Each week, teams will be drawn against a random team, the only rules are that you cannot play the same team twice and you cannot play a team from your divisional tier. So, for example, 6a teams could not draw another 6a team or a 6b team. All teams are in one giant league table, think along the lines of the current Champions League format. League points are scored exactly the same as the league season.
At the end of Week 3, the top 24 teams will go through to the finals night to be played the following week. They will be drawn against one other team; the winners of these matches will then move to the final games. These will be played on the same night. The 6 winners of these final games will all win medals for their teams, and the team with the best overall record will be the first ever winners of the Sarah Trevarthen Trophy.
All teams who finished outside the top 24 will play placement games in Week 4.
So, all teams will play four games across 4 weeks of the STT, and we will do our best to ensure that every team gets 2 games as the home team and 2 games as the away team. You will also have your first 3 weeks fixtures in advance.
